ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland is about to switch EBT card vendors.
The change is scheduled to occur May 17.
SNAP recipients will not be able to make purchases or ATM transactions between midnight and noon that day.
"Don't panic, plan ahead," said Maryland State senator Pam Beidle.
Once the transfer is complete on May 18, EBT users will have to re-register their cards on the new portal.
"A lot of people still don't know, so we have to reach out to our seniors as well as the disabled to inform them of upcoming changes," added Beidle. "You can call the EBT Customer Service number on the back of your card for more information."
